Material calculator
Material calculator for fiber composite laminates
With the SAERTEX material calculator, you can quickly and easily determine the key parameters of your fiber composite laminate.
Calculate the laminate thickness, the material requirement for fabrics and resin as well as the resulting fiber content - either in percent by weight or percent by volume.
Laminate thickness
The calculated amount of resin does not include necessary additional resin volumes (for example in resin feed channels)
Laminate thickness (mm)
Fiber mass content (%)
fiber density (average)
Glass: 2.60 g/cm³
Carbon: 1.78 g/cm³
Aramid: 1.45 g/cm³
Indicative fiber volume content
HLU: 30%
Infusion: 50%
Density for resin infusion (average)
EP resin: 1.17 g/cm³
UP resin: 1.22 g/cm³
VE resin: 1.14 g/cm³

The calculator serves as a guide for the material design of simple or monolithic laminate structures based on fabrics.
Please note, however, that it is not suitable for sandwich structures or special products.
